High Cross

What to expect at our Sunday services

Each Sunday the High Cross Community meets for corporate worship that equips us for our daily worship throughout the week ahead. Whilst content will differ each week we are always seeking:

·   To praise God together in word and music

·   To pray to God together for His world and His creation

·   To encourage each other in our faith

·   To have Bible-based sermons

·   To remember we are saved through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as we celebrate Holy Communion

Our worship styles

Our services have a relaxed formality about them and the content varies according to the worship leader.

Music

At 9.00am our worship is led by one of our organists.

At 10.30am we use our organists and choir plus a singing group with other instruments as available.  We aim to begin with lively contemporary hymns and songs and gently move to more traditional hymns later in the service.

Length

Our 9.00am service lasts around 50 minutes and our 10.30am service between 60 and 75 minutes.  Both usually include a sermon of 10 to 20 minutes.

Involvement

At the 9.00am service we use hymn and song books and Bibles are available on request.

At our 10.30am service all hymns and songs are projected on the screen. In addition there are hymn and song books in the seats and large print versions of the hymn and song words are available on request.  The Bible readings are projected on the screen and Bibles are also available in the seats.

Sound

At both Services there is an induction loop system for use with a hearing aid.

After worship

After our 10.30am service we offer:

·   Prayer Ministry in the downstairs Chapel. We have a team of dedicated Christians who are able to pray with you in confidence.

·   Refreshments are served on the ground floor after our 10.30am service.  Here you can meet our Church community in an informal setting.

·   There is an Information Point where you can find out more about what goes on at High Cross and if you leave your name and address someone will make contact with you within a short while.

·   Our Shop selling Christian books, CDs, DVDs, greetings cards, gifts and fair trade items is open for a short while, but not open to the general public.

·   A Car Park Ticket is available for those who park in the local authority multi-story car park. These are available from the information point.
